SECURED By SENATOR sABIN,

The Sale of the Northwestern Car Works
at saltwater Results In a Victory to
the Thresher Company.
SALTWATER, Oct. .99.-The sale of the
Northwestern Manufacturing and Car
company came off at the courthouse in
Saltwater and resulted in the purchase of
the works by the Minnesota Thresher COM
pany, upon the "Sabin plan," for the
sum of 81, 105, 900. rs, there being only
the Porter bidding against the Thresher
company, which party dropped out after
bidding 81, 103, 900.
Col. Stoddard, of Worcester, Mass,
and several other prominent Eastern men
interested in the success Of the Thresher
company were present. On the other
side H. H. Porter, Andrew Crawford,
western financial agent of Drexel, Nor
gan & Co., H. G. Stone, and several
other prominent persons were present.
When the news spread that Mr. SabiR
had "got there" three cheers for Sabin
were called for and sent up with a We
hemence that seemed to make the house
shake. Mr.. Sabin was quietly standing
in the crowd Just inside the court house
hall, and there was a general rush for
him which caused the senator to smile
and settle back against the wall in a
modest way. 1t is quite likely there will
be something of a Notification in the city
o Referee Williston has five days in
which to report the sale. The court may
then, after thirty days, confirm the sale.
The money must be paid upon confirma-
ton of the sale. Until the money is paid
and the sale confirmed Receiver E. S.
Brown will continue to operate the car
works. 1t will require the payment by
the thresher company of an enormous
amount of cash, as the claims against
the car company, which they hold to turn
in upon the payment, are estimated as
only worth about 10 cents on the dollar,
and they probably do not hold over $780,
600 of claims. .
